01
Percent vs pips
Percent tells you relative move on price. Pips tell you market distance — useful when comparing pairs with different quote scales.
02
Long vs short
A falling price hurts a long and helps a short. Always set direction before reading gain or loss.
03
Account mode
Track portfolio drift from start to end balance — handy for monthly desk statements or personal journals.
